Dan saw this the other day - I couldn't quite believe it but there it is in umm... black and yellow. The thing that amazed him was the trouble they'd obviously gone to to print the sign out, and how inexcusable it is in this age of spellcheckers...
Reminds me of that bit in Blackadder's Christmas Carol where Baldrick makes a Christmas card, and Ebenezer Blackadder points out:
Ebenezer: "Christmas has an H in it, Mr Baldrick."
Baldrick: "Oh..."
Ebenezer: "...and an R. Also an I, and an S. Also T and M and A... ...and another S. Oh, and you've missed out the C at the beginning. Congratulations, Mr Baldrick! Something of a triumph, I think -- you must be the first person ever to spell `Christmas' without getting any of the letters right at all."
Where to start? Where to start ...
Makes you wonder if they printed out that sign or had it in stock (which makes you wonder what other signs might say).
ReplyDeleteDon't get them started on "polyunsaturates".

I think the spelling was 'Kweeznuz'...
